The title of this article is misleading and conflates two distinct legal concepts. "Prosecutorial immunity" refers to the qualified immunity prosecutors receive for official acts (in the same way "[[judicial immunity]]" refers to the immunity enjoyed by judges), not a witness' immunity ''from'' prosecution. To correct this confusion, I propose moving this article to "Immunity from prosecution" and redirecting "Prosecutorial immunity" to "qualified immunity."-[[User:PassionoftheDamon|PassionoftheDamon]] ([[User talk:PassionoftheDamon|talk]]) 00:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
